Rating  - Great Little Radio
First of all, I really like this radio. It gives me everything that I could ever ask for from a pocket radio. When I bought it, I had a hard time deciding between this Sony and the Panasonic RF-P50, so I eventually just bought them both. I'm guessing that I'm not the only person who found themselves trying to make that particular decision, so I'll go ahead and do a side-by-side comparison.
They are both basically the same size. In your hand, the Sony feels like it's a bit bigger, but they're the same size. The Sony feels slightly heavier, but there's no big difference between the two.
As far as their sound, the Sony has more high end, and it sounds brighter, in a good way. The Panasonic sounds warmer without that extra bit of high end. Both sound good, and I think that anyone would be happy with either.
The Panasonic has a wider tuning dial, so it seems a bit easier to do fine tuning on it, as opposed to the Sony's more narrow dial, but it's not like that's really a problem.
The Sony definitely has more sensitive reception. It picks up distant stations noticeably better than the Panasonic. The Panasonic is perfectly fine with local stations, but the Sony is far superior when trying to tune in weaker signals. I was actually amazed with the Sony's superiority when I did a side-by-side comparison. The Panasonic isn't terrible, but the Sony has amazingly good sensitivity.
Those are the main differences, as far as I can tell. Both have a red tuning light. Both feel like they are solidly built. They both have the same kind of wrist strap and antenna, and they are both well worth the money.
Personally, I much prefer the look and feel of the Panasonic, but the superior reception sensitivity of the Sony is a big deal to me. It all depends on how you're gonna use it and what you want.
Rating - GREAT PRICE-GREAT RADIO
This is the BEST transistor radio I have owned and you cannot beat this low price! I have paid $60 for a Radio Shack radio a few years ago and the reception was o.k. at best. You cannot go wrong with this SONY radio..buy it..you won't be sorry!!
Rating - Pocket AM/FM Radio
I love it, perfect size and great reception. Price was great and it is exactly what I was looking for. Not available in stores anywhere. Thanks to Amazon.
Rating  - I AGREE!
Exellent radio for the price. Also, great ease of use. I took it out of the packaging (actually, this was the hardest part!), put batteries in, and it was ready to go. I hardly had to do any tuning for the stations. This makes a great gift also.
Rating - Read reviews, purchased one, exactly as expected
Shirt style AM/FM radio. Don't expect Bose sound, just clear, easy to tune with sliding dial, basic radio. Picks up all my ballgames and news I want to hear around the area. Some AM, Some FM, The red LED tuning light is the best part. When you have the maximum signal available, the light comes on, even if its only throwing a carrier at that exact moment. Camping, picnics, trips etc. Not loud enough to be obtrusive, but easy to hear and understand. A mono ear piece does NOT come with it, Stereo earphones only come out of one side, Typical 1960's, 1970's transistor radio that FITS in the shirt pocket or purse. Batteries (2-AA s)seam to last a long time. Great AM-strong tuner, FM tuner is a bit weaker, thus the 4 stars.
